The little girl spoke with a smile, but Xi Jiu couldn't laugh at all.
Never once was he so grateful to anyone as he is now.
He was grateful to Grandpa Ruan and to Nie Beilou. If it weren't for them, Ruan Qi might not have been born safely, and he would not have met her.
Xi Jiu dared not imagine the world without Ruan Qi.
Maybe it was a kind of hollow and cold like a walking dead.
Xi Jiu closed his eyes, feeling extremely scared. He hugged the little girl in his arms tightly and kissed her gently on top of her head.
Ruan Qi felt the man's affection and care, so she comforted her arm and continued to tell the past nineteen years ago.
"After being taken in by grandparents, my father kept in Qingyun Village for three months before he could barely get up. During these three months, those with flame totem on them never gave up looking for us, and even almost found Qingyun Village.
Later, in order to eliminate future troubles, the master erased the traces of our family and forged false information that his father fell into the river and died."
"After those people received the news of their father's death, they never appeared near Qingyun Village again. Our family also settled down."
"Later, when my father recovered from his injuries, he recognized his grandparents as his biological parents. Since then, my brother and I have changed our surnames to Ruan."
Ruan Qi was a little thirsty when she said that she sat up from the man's arms and reached out to get the water cup on the bedside table.
Xi Jiu immediately held her little hand, raised her arm and took the water cup and brought it to her mouth.
Ruan Qi bit the straw and drank half a cup, hiccupped with satisfaction, and continued: "Although the master forged the information about father's death, those people should have always been suspicious. Although they evacuated from Qingyun Village,
But over the years, they have been secretly investigating their father's whereabouts. However, the master's skill in forging information is very high, and they have never found it out."
Hearing this, Xi Jiu keenly realized that something seemed to be wrong.
He carefully recalled what the girl said, and a hint of doubt flashed through his cold eyes—
What was Ruan’s father’s identity before?
Why did those people with flame totem not let him go after 20 years of investigation?
Xi Jiu was puzzled in his heart, and Ruan Qi's voice sounded in his ears again.
"My parents have been hiding their identity for nearly twenty years and have been investigating how powerful those people are. If our family wants to return to the imperial capital openly, they must get rid of those people. The reason for finding Alfat is because a few days ago
Simon told me that Old Alfat's brother was killed by those people."
Xi Jiu: "So, do you want to cooperate with him?"
"Yes. The Alfat family's power abroad should not be underestimated. They are a good helper."
Xi Jiu pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Okay." He rubbed the top of the girl's head, "Do whatever the baby wants. With me, no one can hurt his father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Ruan Xiaoqi, who was thinking about how to kill people just now, heard the sound of "father-in-law and mother-in-law", her whole body turned red.
She pressed her steaming little head and her tongue began to knot, "Jiujiu, you, you..."
"Hmm?" Xi Jiu lowered her head and leaned into her, curled her thin lips and chuckled softly, "Baby, what am I?"
The man's low laughter was extremely sexy, and the hormones that hit him almost drown Ruan Qi.
The little girl was so embarrassed that her peach blossom eyes seemed to have a pool of spring water.
She gently bit her pink lips, blushed her face for a long time, and stammered it: "You're not married yet, so you can't call her father-in-law and mother-in-law."
When Xi Jiu heard this, his handsome eyebrows raised his cold face.
He stretched out his long arms and hugged the little girl directly into his arms, lowered his head and pecked her pink lips hard.
"Then baby, let's get married."
